Maritime Orientation Package MARITIME ORIENTATION PACKAGE Port Nelson 1 MARITIME ORIENTATION PACKAGE Introduction This ‘Maritime Orientation Package’ will introduce the complex Maritime industry to Health Protection Officers (HPOs) who may have to implement and apply health measures within it. Background New Zealand Public Health Units are designated as ‘competent authorities’ by the World Health Organisation for ensuring maritime Points of Entry (POE) comply with the standards required by the International Health Regulations (2005) (IHR) and the International Maritime Organisation. Most New Zealand Public Health Units have a Maritime POE in their region. The Maritime Environment comprises many unique factors and has its own language rich with acronyms. For a HPO to be competent and feel confident working in the maritime environment they need a basic understanding of: • Vessel Types – their purpose and the possible public health issues associated with them. • The layout of a ship – where to go and what to look for. • Maritime Terminology – communication with the personnel on board and dockside in the lexicon. • The sequence a vessel follows upon entering NZ waters and the ensuing processes; o gaining pratique, o berthing, o discharging and loading cargo, o replenishment of food and water, o refuelling, and o departure for another jurisdiction, and • The suite of documents that ships maintain to show that management practices on board comply with international regulations and requirements. Purpose The purpose of this orientation package is to familiarise HPOs with some background information that will enable them to be able to confidently conduct their duties at the port. The package is in three parts; • maritime terminology, • an illustrated compendium of ship types that might be encountered in NZ waters, and • a schematic showing the layout of a ship. 2 PART 1 - TERMINOLGY SHIPS’ GEOMETRY Beam (B): The breadth of the ship at the widest point. Draft (T): The depth from waterline to the keel. Freeboard (F): Distance between the waterline and the uppermost watertight deck. Depth (D): Total depth from the keel to the top of the watertight deck. Depth = draft + freeboard. Length Overall (LOA): The extreme length of the ship, bow to stern. Length on Waterline (LWL): The length at the waterline in the ship's loaded condition. VESSEL TERMINOLGY AFT: Toward the stern of the ship. AMIDSHIPS: In or toward the centre of the ship. BALLAST TANK: Tanks used to adjust the ship’s trim by pumping water in or out BILGE: The interior of the hull below the floor boards. BOLLARD: is a short vertical post used on a ship or a quay, used principally for attaching mooring lines. BOW: The forward part of a ship. BOAT DECK: Deck on which the ship’s lifeboats are stowed (Cruise Ships and Ferries). BRIDGE: The location from which a vessel is steered and its speed controlled. BULKHEAD: A vertical partition separating compartments. CAPSTAN: Deck mounted stationery winch used to draw lines – a hazard when operating DISPLACEMENT: The weight of water displaced by a floating vessel, thus, a ship’s weight. DRAFT: The depth of water a ship draws. FATHOM: Six feet or 1.82 meters FORPEAK: Furthest forward compartment (as opposed to AFTPEAK). GALLEY: The ship’s kitchen GANGWAY: The area of a ship's side where people board and disembark. HATCH: The opening in the deck of a vessel giving access to the cargo hold. HEADING: The direction a vessel's bow points at any given time. HEADS: Toilets. HEADWAY: The forward motion of a ship. Opposite of STERNWAY . HELM: The wheel or tiller controlling the rudder. HULL: The main body of a vessel. KEEL: The centreline of a ship running fore and aft; the backbone of a vessel. LINES: Cables or ropes used to secure the ship to the dock/wharf. KNOT: A measure of speed equal to one nautical mile, 6076 feet per hour. LEE: The side sheltered from the wind. LEEWARD: The direction away from the wind. Opposite of WINDWARD . LEEWAY: The sideways movement of the ship caused by either wind or current. MAIN DECK: The uppermost weatherproof deck, running the full length of a ship. MARINE ENGINEERING: Propulsion and systems within the ship. (Pumps, power generation, air & water systems etc.) 3 MHE. Mechanical Handling Equipment – mobile plant that handles cargo, includes straddle carriers, fork lifts, log loaders, front end loaders, mobile grabs, but not fixed derricks, gantry’s or cranes. MIDSHIP: Approximately the location equidistant from the bow and stern. NAUTICAL MILE : One minute of latitude; approx 6076 feet: 1/8 longer than the statute mile of 5280 feet. PORT: The left side of a ship looking forward. QUARTER: The sides of a ship aft of amidships. RINGBOLT: a. Deck Fastening for cables or lines, OR b. a freeloading/non-paying passenger STANCHION: Vertical support (a bar or post) for chains or ropes, as in marine applications STARBOARD: The right side of a ship when looking forward. STEM: The front of the ship. STERN: The back of the ship. SCUPPERS: Area where there is the collection and conduit of water runoff off the decks. UPPER DECK : The highest deck of the hull, extending from stem to stern. WATERLINE: A notional line of the level of water against the ship’s side when it is properly trimmed. WAY: Movement of a vessel through the water such as headway, sternway or leeway. GLOSSARY OF MARITIME TERMS Advance Notice of Arrival (ANA). All commercial and cruise ships must submit an advance notice of arrival form not less than 48 hours prior to their entering New Zealand territorial waters (12 mile limit ).

  • Cable Layer JOSEPH HENRY - NNS Hull #114
    ONE OF A KIND… …and ONE HUNDRED-PLUS YEARS OLD Cable Layer JOSEPH HENRY - NNS Hull #114 On May 7, 1908, the Newport News Shipbuilding (NNS) entered into a contract with the U.S. War Department to build a small cable laying vessel. It was NNS’ first and only experience with the construction of such a ship. That lack of experience, coupled with her unusual design resulted in the shipyard suffering a financial loss. But as the company’s motto states, regardless of profit or loss “Always Good Ships” and now, over a hundred years later, the JOSEPH HENRY remains afloat and virtually unchanged when delivered on March 31, 1909. A modest-sized vessel, she measures slightly over 167 feet in length and has a beam of 32 feet. Her displacement is 800 tons; a fraction of the size of the vessels that NNS currently designs and builds. Two coal-fired boilers and a pair of compound reciprocating engines provided a total of 1,000 SHP, which allowed her two, four-bladed propellers to achieve a top speed of 11.3 knots. In order to provide good maneuverability during cable-laying in confined waters, she was also fitted with twin rudders. Fairly elaborate guards to help prevent cables from being entangled with her propellers were also included in her design, as this photo taken following a 2007 bottom cleaning (and before final underwater hull painting) indicates. The JOSEPH HENRY was built for the Submarine Cable Service of the U.S. Army Signal Corps. Her initial duties included laying cables for the army’s fire control systems at coastal fortifications in New York Harbor and elsewhere along the Eastern Coast of the United States and in the Gulf of Mexico.
